Crude protein content and in sacco dry matter (DM) loss after 72 h of incubation in West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep and goats of fresh, wilted and dried leaves of Gliricidia sepium were compared. Additionally, voluntary DM intakes by WAD sheep and goats of G. sepium leaves presented in the fresh, ...

In alley farming, crop response to mulching is the most important determinant of whether or not the use of prunings for feeding animals is economic. The aim of this paper is to use some recent agronomic and animal nutrition trial data to reassess whether it is economic to add small ruminants to a...

Hedonic price models were fitted to a sample of 1,397 sheep and 1,293 goats, for which data were collected from nine markets in Ethiopia over a 12-month period. The objective was to determine seasonal and inter-market differences in prices after controlling for the effects on different attributes...

The humid zone of southern Nigeria has an estimated 9 million small ruminants, largely consisting of trypanotolerant dwarf goats and sheep. In spite of this, aggregate demand for small ruminant meat in the zone exceeds supply from local sources and the gap is met by supplies from the subhumid and...

A year-long survey of rural small ruminant markets in southern Nigeria shows that supplies from local sources fail to keep pace with increased demand, particularly at festival times, and the gap is filled by supplies from the northern part of the country. Subsistence oriented southern producers s...
